Mike is absolutely incredible! Not only is his music amazing, but he goes above and beyond to make your wedding day perfect. We were so impressed with his thoughtful, caring nature through all of our planning meetings, and we could not be more thrilled with the final result on our special day. Our guests shared the same sentiment, as the most popular feedback that we received was how much people loved Mike's performances and music selection. We are so grateful, and we highly recommend Mike for all wedding day accommodations!
Mike was absolutely incredible! From the planning process to the actual day, he made everything so seamless and easy. Not only that, but he’s also amazingly talented and all our guests loved the live music action. We got so many compliments on our DJ choice and we couldn’t agree more. If you need someone to make your day beautiful, special and fun Mike is your guy.
We are so happy that we booked Mike as our music vendor for our wedding on 3/23/24. From start to finish, Mike demonstrated excellent communication. My husband and I love music, and Mike made the planning process of selecting songs fun! He was not kidding when he said there was no limit on how many new songs he would learn for us. We felt like we were at our own personal concert on our wedding day! He also played our first dance song live, which made for a very special moment that we will never forget. Mike then transitioned to DJ and made sure our dance floor was packed throughout the night! My husband and I had full trust in Mike’s ability to handle everything related to music for our wedding. We felt like he truly wanted to make sure our day went seamlessly, which he of course delivered on. Mike is a true professional in the wedding industry. I highly recommend booking Mike for your wedding. We hope to see him perform live again at one of his local shows!
Mike is a PHENOMENAL artist/DJ! We hired him for our winter wedding and he was extremely communicative, professional, kind, played every song we requested, and was so much fun! We had so many compliments on the music throughout the night from our guests and the entire dance floor was filled the majority of the night! Mike also beautifully played an acoustic set during our cocktail hour and everyone was so impressed with his talent. We couldn’t recommend Mike enough! He will make your wedding day extra special as he did ours. You won’t regret hiring him!
If you want the PERFECT DJ and musician, look NO further than Mike Medved!! Finding the right DJ was at the top of my priority list for our wedding day and I still can't believe how lucky we got with Mike! The dance floor was packed all night, I never wanted to leave! Mike played all of our requests and also played other music that matched exactly what we wanted. He honored all of my requests and do not play list and brought every idea I had in my head to life! He coordinated with us over the phone ahead of time which was so awesome and helped plan how the night was going to run. On top of all of that, Mike is a talented musician who did an acoustic cocktail hour and sung our first dance song! It was such a unique thing that I've never seen before at a wedding and I didn't think it was possible, but I love Mike's version of our song more than the original! We still can't believe a month later, everyone is still talking about how much fun they had at our wedding! Mike gave us the absolute best night of our lives. If the perfect DJ is at the top of your priority list too, Mike Medved is the GOLD standard!
Mike was an absolute pleasure to work with! He was so organized and helpful as we figured out all of the music we needed for our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception! He not only was receptive to music requests we had, but he able to explain what would best acoustically as we mapped everything out! He was so incredibly patient with us as went back and forth with our first dance music. He also coordinated a surprise song for me with my Dad.. a moment we will cherish forever. His live performance of our own first dance song was beyond beautiful and even with the rain we experienced, he was so relaxed and was a HUGE part in making our wedding day so fun!
Speaking of fun, he was perfection when it came to navigated our dance floor... we had people on the dance floor all night! We cannot thank him enough for what was the best day of our life!!
Mike was absolutely amazing to work with for our wedding day. He provided both live music during the cocktail hour, as well as DJ and music services during our reception. He worked with us for several months leading up to the wedding to ensure we had the perfect playlist and timeline for the evening.
Not only was Mike professional, kind, flexible and accommodating while working with us, but our other vendors and guests had nothing but positive remarks about Mike.
Most importantly, Mike sincerely cares about providing his clients with the best day. He goes above and beyond to ensure everything is perfect. On our wedding day, the venue took our cake away before we had the opportunity to cut it. Mike went into the kitchen and stopped the caterers from cutting our cake so that we could have that special moment. This is just one example of Mike’s commitment to providing the perfect day for his clients.
If you have the opportunity to book Mike for your wedding, I would highly recommend it!!
We hired Mike to play our ceremony and cocktail hour and he was fabulous! Our guests raved about him during our cocktail hour. I am so happy we chose Mike to part of our special day. He was so great to work with and I recommend him for any wedding event!
We are so happy we chose to work with Mike as our wedding musician! We got so many complements from our guests on his versatile skills; he performed acoustic guitar for our ceremony, sang and played guitar for our cocktail hour, and DJ-ed our reception! Mike kept the day flowing well and the dance floor full all night! He was great to work with, very easy to reach when we needed to, and had a simple, straight forward, and efficient planning process. Mike even went above and beyond in creating a custom mashup for my dad and I to surprise everyone with for our father-daughter dance! You can tell he genuinely loves what he does, and is very good at it! We loved working with him and wouldn’t hesitate to do so in the future! Thank you, Mike!
The Best Ever is an understatement. Mike is so versatile. His skill set is rare in this space because he is not only able to MC, but he Plays Live Acoustic Sets and will DJ the heck out of your dance floor. He will even sing your first dance live if that’s something you want.
And that’s the beauty with Mike, he wants you comfortable and wants you to provide the vision and he will adapt accordingly.
He allowed us to give him lots of direction. He’s a great listener.
What’s also nice about Mike though, is that the times we were hesitant or uncertain … we could lean on him and he would take the drivers seat.
He’s seen so many weddings in his career which makes him very knowledgeable about the many little things we never thought about during the process.
The guy is kind and patient. He has the ability to take a back seat and listen and also knew when to push us to get things moving. He knew all the right questions to ask us so we had a great plan going into wedding day.
His versatility is incredible. We saw him at a friends wedding and knew we had to book him and we were not disappointed. All our guests went out of their way to complement his talents. “Where did you find this guy” they would all say.
Mikes is also great at understanding weddings are expensive and he will work with you on payment plans to make sure you can pay him over time prior to the start of your wedding day. It helps so you don’t have to cut one check upfront or the day of your wedding.
But let me tell you he is worth every dime.
I would hire him again in the future for other events. Do not hesitate to book him for your wedding.

I don’t think words can describe how amazing Mike is. He is confident, professional, and just gave me a sense of calm from the very beginning that eased all my nerves. Mike played an acoustic cocktail hour for us (which was actually almost 2 hours) and then became the DJ for the evening. He is super organized and did everything through google docs which was a DREAM since we were planning from afar. He learned a few of our favorite songs (this is not extra, just something he does!) and even gives the option to play the first dance song live. He has a ton of experience and made the entire evening flow effortlessly. The sound system he used in the barn was fantastic and he and my photographer (who did not previously know each other) worked together so well. Two of my favorite moments from the day were the bridal dance and our last dance, both of which Mike played a huge role in. Not to mention, the dance floor was never empty even with the high temps!
From the moment I first saw Mike DJ at a friend's wedding I knew that someday when I got married I wanted him to be my DJ. I was willing to work around his availability if necessary because that is how important it was to have him! My biggest hope for my wedding was to have an awesome dance party and because of Mike we had just that. He is the most unique DJ in that he will play acoustic and sing for a live cocktail hour experience as well as your first dance if you would like. Personally that was so special and romantic to have him play acoustic for our first dance! And after that, he was the most epic DJ keeping our dance floor going ALL NIGHT LONG. Not to mention he is just the most kind and genuine person that made us feel so special leading up to and on our wedding day.
We chose Mike as our wedding DJ after seeing him perform live at a local winery. From start to finish he blew us away both with the live music, and with how easy he navigated the crowd while DJ'ing. He's super talented, and very easy to work with. He made the entire process a breeze, and the end result was ideal. We can't say enough good things about Mike, and would
highly recommend!
Mike is the absolute best!!! He is not only extremely talented, but also very kind, responsive and professional. Mike played a live cocktail hour and live first dance and everyone was in awe of what an excellent musician he is. He then got everyone dancing during the reception. I highly recommend Mike: he really made our day!
Mike is truly a one of a kind wedding vendor. He was recommended to us by a coworker, and I would continue to recommend him to ANYONE looking for a DJ who can do it all. From very early on in our contract Mike took the time to walk us through each and every step, helped us create our wedding timeline, and very promptly answered all of the questions we had. He is such a joy to work with- more like working with a friend than a random wedding vendor!
What makes Mike unique is the fact that he not only pumps up your dance floor, he also sings and plays the acoustic guitar live. We had Mike play live for our ceremony and cocktail hour (you can create your own set list or choose from a list of songs he provides), and our guests were floored with his talent and the uniqueness that having a live musician brought to our special day. We cannot imagine having chosen anyone else as our DJ! Run, don't walk, to send an inquiry to Mike- you WILL NOT be disappointed.
Mike was amazing to work with from beginning to end! Not only is he an incredible musician - he's thoughtful, organize, prompt, and really cares about the couples that he works with. The live music at the ceremony & cocktail hour was the perfect touch, and Mike transitioned seamlessly into becoming the DJ for our reception! Mike provided such a unique and special experience, and we would recommend him to anyone!
Do yourself a favor for your wedding day and book Mike ASAP! Mike was so professional, VERY talented, helpful, and guided us through the day so easily. We found Mike playing at a different wedding and knew we had to have him for our own. He played an acoustic set during our cocktail hour and was a huge hit. He also sang our first dance which is a memory we will always cherish. It is something so different from other weddings that we have been to and our guests raved about it. If you want to add a unique touch to your wedding without doing any extra work, Mike is your guy! Mike also kept our dance floor full and entertained our guests for hours. Some friends had requests and he made sure it was ok by either the bride or groom before it was played which was nice. Also, we could put the venues disco ball on and he ran it by us for approval before there were any changes, so he really made sure the day was everything we wanted before anyone else. We knew he would do a great job but he really exceeded our expectations. Mike took the time to make our vision come to life. My father wanted a mashup for the father-daughter dance and Mike put together a few different mashups to choose from. Mike was also quick with any responses, questions, and changes that we had. The day before, we realized we needed another set up area for him to perform for the cocktail hour. He was so attentive and had no problem making any changes that we needed the day before. You can tell Mike just wants to make your wedding day so special and he makes sure that happens. We can not recommend Mike enough. He was thoughtful, kind, and paid attention to all the details. Definitely check him out!
Mike is absolutely awesome and so crazy multi talented. Nothing this guy can’t do! Our guests Absolutely loved his acoustic set he played during our cocktail hour, and how seamlessly he transitioned into our super special customized playlist that we created together! If you have great taste in music, this is definitely your guy. Highly recommend!
Thank you Mike for being such an important part of our special day! Mike is a first class person with first class professionalism. Mike was able to create the perfect vibes to create a great environment on our wedding day. From the live acoustic music with cocktail hour and ceremony all the way to the dance floor liveliness. Mike was able to execute everything perfectly and ease my brides mind throughout the planning process and coordinated flawlessly with the other vendors.
Thanks for a great experience
+5 stars
I would recommend Mike Medved music for any wedding
Mike was absolutely a dream to work with from start to finish! He listened well and heard our vision for our music for our ceremony and reception. He handled everything expertly! Mike even learned some very special music for my husband, which made us both so pleased. Mike has the most beautiful voice and gentle manner which blended wonderfully in our garden setting . Mike is great at communicating through email and phone and outlining the whole process. We knew everything would go smoothly and it did! He is the best. Pick him!
Mike is in this business for a paycheck and his lack of understanding in the midst of a pandemic showed his true colors. Mike is very talented. Unfortunately, he is neither understanding nor empathetic to situations outside of a couples control. Mike was offensive and unprofessional when he referred to our communication style as "entitled" and "rude". after we were forced to cancel our Wedding Reception due to COVID-19. He has a great voice but is not the kind of person you want to hire with these extremely uncertain times still ahead.
Mike and Ty were super easy to work with, organized, and genuine. They both went above and beyond to really make my sister’s wedding shower and vow ceremony truly memorable. Music was extremely important to my sister, so I really wanted to make it special for her. I could not have picked better people to make this happen. Although Mike did not perform for the event, all my communication was with him. He was attentive to what my sister envisioned, but made suggestions to make the day that much better. Mike’s colleague, Ty, is who performed. Everyone was so impressed with his talent, so much so that we requested he stick around for an extra hour! His acoustic and vocals were beautiful, but he also knew what songs to play to get everyone on the dance floor. I would strongly recommend Mike and Ty. I promise, you will not be disappointed!
Mike is the best!! Our wedding was postponed until next summer due to covid, but we still got married on our original date in a private outdoor ceremony. I emailed Mike and secretly asked him to record a song we planned on having at our wedding. He jumped right on board and was so excited to still get to be a part of our day. He learned the song and sent us a BEAUTIFUL recording that we used as I walked down the "aisle" in the woods. Mike is not only extremely talented, he is also an awesome person who is genuinely happy for the couples he works with. Can't wait to have him in person next year!
Before we even picked out our venue-we knew we wanted to have Mike Medved as our wedding musician! My husband and I had heard him perform a few times at a local restaurant and at a friend's wedding and we were so very impressed with his talent and style each time!
Working with Mike was awesome-he was so helpful, flexible, and kind! He went above and beyond to incorporate and learn live songs that we requested. Mike knew exactly how to design the flow and organization of the reception, and made sure we had all of the details picked out just the way we had envisioned.
We had a cocktail style reception at Olive or Twist, and Mike's live acoustic music was absolutely perfect for the cocktail party vibe we were going for! I am still receiving so many compliments from friends and family on how great he was!!
His fantastic live music and his DJ song choices for upbeat dancing on the dance floor, ensured that everyone had a blast-and they absolutely did!
Our wedding was right at the beginning of the unfortunate virus closings and concerns. Mike was extremely professional, taking any extra health and safety precautions as needed at the DJ booth, and was there to perform and give everyone a night of happiness and joy. We are so grateful for his dedication to making our wedding reception a perfect success! Thank you so much Mike!

Mike was excellent to work with. He spent time getting to know as as a couple with phone calls and emails. He had documents that only required us to fill in the blanks with our vision and he took it and made it come to life. He was flexible with our specific timeline and a few unique things we wanted to do. He kept the evening flowing smoothly and allowed us to have such a wonderful wedding. We danced the night away to music that fit us as a couple and that allowed our guests to be engulfed in who we were as a couple. He had all of his own equipment, helped our officiant with the microphone and handled all sound needs in our venue. We loved how much he cared to make our day perfect for us!!
Mike is truly the best! We couldn’t have asked for a more professional, talented, and genuine person to work with. We first saw Mike perform at Narcisi Winery and we knew he would set our wedding over the top! Not only is he an amazing musician, but a phenomenal dj. He played live acoustic guitar for our ceremony, first dance, and father-daughter/mother-son dances and it was so special. He also had the dance floor packed! He knew exactly what songs to play at what times...from the entrance songs at the ceremony, to the dinner music, to throwing one heck of a party! Our guests were so impressed with how he did and we’ve received so many compliments. It was an honor to have Mike be apart of our big day and we would recommend him to anyone!
Mike Medved was absolutely amazing! We booked him very quickly, knowing that he did live music, as well as DJing throughout the remainder of the night. Mike played live music during our cocktail hour and played our first song live (which was one of our absolute favorite moments of the day- he played it perfectly). We made sure to be at cocktail hour to talk with our guests and because we didn't want to miss the music! Mike had a shared document that we put all of our information into and he took the time to review everything with us before our wedding day. He is super nice, kind, and very talented! We highly recommend him! :) (also you can check him out playing live music at Narcissi winery, we're excited to visit him in the future there as well)
Mike was intentional, organized, thoughtful, and incredibly talented. We could not have asked for a better musician to make our wedding day special. Music was really important to us, and Mike was so on board to help create our unique vision, and he really took the time to make it all happen. He was very organized in how he plans out the wedding day from start to finish, he was quick in his responses to our questions, and we really felt like he got to know us throughout the process. Our venue even raved about how early he got to our venue to ensure every detail and piece of equipment was properly set up. Most importantly, our friends couldn't stop talking about how great the DJ was as he went from one great song to the next our whole reception. There was never a lull and we were told multiple times that he was the best wedding DJ people had seen! We are just so beyond grateful for Mike's thoughtfulness and attention to our wedding day and we loved the opportunity to get to work with such a kind and awesome guy. We can not recommend him enough!
Stop looking and book Mike now! He was such a great addition to our wedding! He made the planning process super easy, providing guidance when needed and helping us figure out how to do things that made our wedding unique! He played guitar for the ceremony and cocktail hour and did a great job DJing keeping everyone dancing in the evening! Tons of people have told us how much they enjoyed the music through out the evening, thanks Mike!
Mike is awesome! He was a pleasure to work with and very accommodating. He played at the ceremony, cocktail hour and the reception. The dance floor was never bare. Everyone enjoyed the music!
Mike is absolutely amazing!!! We cannot speak highly enough of him. Mike was very attentive, always quick to respond to emails and helped us through the planning process. Mike sang and played guitar at our ceremony and cocktail hour, and DJ'd our reception, and we couldn't have been more pleased with his work! He is super talented, and everyone truly enjoyed his live music. In addition, the dance floor was always full of people enjoying his playlist!! We were rather particular about our ceremony and reception songs, and allowed him to take over for the reception as he has a lot of experience, and he did an absolutely amazing job. We are so thankful for Mike, and highly recommend him!!
Mike was outstanding for our wedding. He did a great job performing during our cocktail hour, DJing the reception, managing the flow of everything, and on top of it all, he fulfilled many special requests to make our day special, including the performance of our wedding song which he did not previously know. I highly recommend Mike for weddings, and I will likely seek him out in the future for other events!
I wish I could give you 6 stars! You travelled over to the UK to sing at our wedding and we couldn’t be more grateful! Your voice is like a warm hug when you feel cold, like butter on a crumpet... you get the point. Our friends and family loved you, and you made our wedding one to remember. Thanks Mike!
Mike is truly a professional! He performed at my daughters, outdoor wedding and barn reception, last September and was amazing! He walked us through the entire experience and made it pain-free and easy!
The day of the wedding, he was prompt and professional, appearing after the loss of a loved one the day prior! God bless him!
Everything, the songs he played and the songs he sang were exactly as chosen by my daughter and her husband! And after the wedding, guests approached me to compliment Mike. Five stars, here!!
Mike was incredible in every way! My guests loved his acoustic covers at cocktail hour, and he was both accommodating and enjoyable as a host for our evening! As a bride, I would book him again in a heartbeat and absolutely recommend him to anyone interested. Music is very important to me, and he contributed greatly into making it the fairly tale it was for me and my hubby!
He is absolutely amazing! Would highly recommend him. He played guitar and sang for our ceremony and cocktail hour and it was amazing! All of our guests raved about him. He is very easy to work with and so helpful! Overall he did a wonderful job!
Mike was exceptional from the beginning of our planning process. He always reiterated to us that he just wanted to create a magical day for the bride and groom, which is exactly what he did. Mike performed for our ceremony, cocktail hour and even DJ'ed the reception. My only regret (truly) from my wedding was not attending the cocktail hour, because we were taking photos--- SO many of my guest said Mike's performance and song choice during cocktail hour were among their favorite memories from our wedding. He's got a big heart, pays a ton of attention to detail and makes sure everything is thought through. Would recommend him wholeheartedly.
Mike was so easy to work with and did exactly what I asked. He also has an amazing voice!
